Great German video footage for the fans. L.

Yeah...but I mean the exagerated yawn that ends with a whine...they sometimes do that when they have to wait or see things... L.
-
My dogs make a lot more yawnings/yawning noises than say the collie of my parents. On the internet there is a lot of discussion about what dogs' yawning means...stress or positive emotions, or none of both... What do you think? When do you dogs yawn? Do your terriers yawn as much as your running dogs? L.
-
Yeah why not a good whippet stud. Size down a bit maybe and make it "quicker" and more useful in small landscapes? I would say a big YES to a grew with some saluki blood. L.

Used one for nailbed infection. Only used it outdoors. Works good in keeping the foot dry and clean. Hard too keep on the dog, though the fitting system is pretty good a dog will pull it off after a while. L.

If that is a serious question...I'd say you can't stop it. Catching is self rewarding. Keep her on a leash. I have to do the same here, when there is a wif of rabbit scent or just a memory of a rabbit my old bitch will be gone. Real nice looking dog BTW... L
-
Sweet. Nice pics. I wish I had one. L.

Yeah whippet. Rabbits, hares, rats, mice , ducks, swans and stray chickens will be your game and when properly raised will be ideal quiet house dog. Most here are gamey dogs that do not need the extra gust and the hair of terrierblood. L.

WOW! L
-
If possible take it to a vet, maybe costs a few bucks and is a hassle but then you know what is wrong hopefully. L.
-
Again, just for the record. Bitch's eyes are getting reddish again, combined with the bald patches she gets on her legs next to her "lower lips"...

Oh I send you another link as a pm. For pictures, get a photobucket account and upload the pics to there and then copy the url in your post and use the insert picture button of the post' menu. L.

Small, light and stacks of enthousiasm...already caught a couple of rabbits. You're on the right track it sounds. All longears are difficult, esspecially when there is a lot of cover. Open space, young hares would be best if you have access to that, slip as closely as possible. Otherwise I don't know. Get a a whippet too, to push them out and make them turn so the bigger dog can strike? ...small and light...do you have any pics? Here's a link to afghans in the COO...but you prolly have already seen that.... http://www.afghanhoundsinternational.net/gallery/tazi L

How old is your afghan? An afghan is a big dog, big chance it will lack the acceleration for rabbits but lamped it will catch one some day. Depends also a bit on the brain...if it is clever it will learn to stalk. If you have a well running afghan I would let it mature, condition it and take it to the open country for hares. Maybe shave it to get weight off and keep it cool. L.

I would keep the wondering about terrain and catching game hypothetically for the first year at least. Like has been said so often before (use the search function), work on the recall and basic things. If your dog has prey drive and speed, the day will come it will catch something. And when it's an afghan you'll be real proud that you can get the rabbit from it without too much fuss. L.

I have exactly the same on my dog, and its after a nettley field, not so much nettles as those spiney purple blooming things... L.
-
Say you would find full boxes from 1975...would you try them?
-
L.S., I was wondering looking at some souvenirs from the past...how long could you store ammo before it turns bad? Does it turn bad at al if you keep it cool and dry? cheers, L.
-
That is true I guess...some dogs don't have the lungs or a blood glucose mechanism or whatever to go the distance. L.
-
Stamina...stamina...most of the people on this forum including me could run a marathon if we would be properly conditioned, build up the exercise and have the appropriate diet for it...the same goes for dogs probably...but it will be easier for some of us cause of the differences in the way we're built... L.
-
Yeah Millet...that sounds like a usefull dog...diluting colli and and sort of spice up saluki. But here in NL we never see such dogs...
-
To me collies are buggin'. If you raise a "saluki type" from a pup big chance it will run game and investigate but come back to heel pretty quickly on a signal. It will catch game and stay in one piece pretty well. It doesn't show the mechanical quick respons of the collies and is a lot more "adult" and calm to live with. L.
-
L.S., I was just dreaming/wondering...did anyone use longdogs as catch dogs behind beagles or with beagles or the like as "force" dogs...did anyone hunt a longdog next to a pointer or a dog that can sweep terrain on command? cheers, L.

Thanks adam, 65 pounds is a good size, not too big. That second dog looks like it could deal with coyote without whippet blood Is that pure greyhound? Though they operate mostly in the west, the people of the NOFCA might be able to set you up, or this guy, an ex-brit: http://lythwhippets.net/index.html L.

Goodlooking greyhound that is sir. Looks useful...how heavy is it? Saluki can give you great feet, stamina en toughness. Good one is ideal for jack rabbits in open country. You might also get aloofness and selective obedience but it depends on the dogs upbringing and your attitude. But not all salukis are alike. Some are pretty "macho" dogs others are more like cats. Dutch Salmon likes salukis and has written "Gazehounds and Coursing" on running dogs in the US. Pick up a copy if you can. Cheers L.
